Out Teach

always brings us back to a simple question: Who first sparked your curiosity? For most of us, it was a teacher. Someone who made learning feel real. Someone who made space for questions, and made us feel capable of figuring things out. You probably still remember how that felt. That’s the kind of experience teachers are working to create for students every day. And when teachers feel supported, the shift is real:

• 97% feel more prepared to teach science
• 98% report greater job satisfaction
• 99% see a positive academic impact on their students

And students respond differently too. They stay curious longer. They ask more questions. They begin to see themselves as capable. As schools prepare for next year, you can help more teachers and students experience learning that sticks. Help a teacher feel confident and prepared today:

Before comes to a close, we keep thinking about one of the first questions Dr. Jane Goodall asked Out Teach CEO .

It wasn’t about her resume.

It wasn’t about her experience.

Instead, Jane asked:

“Tell me about your childhood. Tell me about your relationship with animals.”

Years later, Jeanne still says that moment changed how she thinks about science and learning.

Because science doesn’t begin with having the right answer. It begins with noticing. Wondering. Asking questions.

This month, we’ve been sharing stories from women across the Out Teach community who are helping students experience science that same way…through curiosity, discovery, and real-world learning.

This , we’ve been sharing what representation in STEM can look like in practice for elementary students.

Not just posters.
Not just timelines.
But students outside investigating soil, observing ecosystems, and solving problems while learning about real scientists and real STEM careers.

Throughout the month, we're highlighting how Out Teach Seed Packs™ connect hands-on outdoor learning to scientists like Chavonda Jacobs-Young, Earyn McGee, and Arlyne Simon, helping students see science as something they can do, and a future they can imagine. We pulled all of this together in one short resource that shows what this looks like in real classrooms.
